Folio Society – MAIGRET Set 1 [3 Vols]: Maigret in Society, Maigret Sets a Trap [and] Maigret’s Mistake by Georges Simenon

The quintessential French detective returns in this irresistible three-volume collection of classic crime novels. In Maigret in Society, Maigret Sets a Trap and Maigret’s Mistake, we see the detective wrestle with the upper echelons of the French aristocracy, attempt to foil a crazed murderer on the streets of Paris, and investigate the pervasive influence of a charismatic brain surgeon. Full of the psychological astuteness and elegant writing that made Simenon enormously popular among his fellow writers as well as with readers, these three volumes feature stylish illustrations by Folio favourite Harry Brockway. Produced in series with the Folio Society’s first Maigret collection, the smart bindings are blocked with a classic image of the detective, showing his pipe and heavy overcoat, and his head bent in thought. An essential collection for any fan of sophisticated crime fiction.

All items are sent at cost price whether purchasing a single or multiple items. Due to size, weight and value considerations it is not possible to accurately calculate combined postage automatically. Always feel free to ask or if purchases require immediate payment I will refund any difference. All items must be sent to the address stipulated during the payment process. All items are sent via recorded delivery unless they are of little monetary value.

Virtually all my items are available through the global shipping program (GSP) to designated countries outside the UK. Please note I have no control over international postage costs. I do not set these, eBay’s GSP does, I send the items to an address in the UK and am not even aware of the country for which they are destined. Items purchased through the GSP must be sent via the GSP shipping centre. For multiple purchases, I cannot combine postage after items are purchased but if you contact me before buying I can try combining multiple items into a single listing which is usually less expensive.

Please ask any questions before buying
